Our Recommendation
9.2

Right Side of the Plane

The right side offers a spectacular traversal of the Austrian Alps followed by the iconic aerial view of Venice's historic center during the descent into Marco Polo Airport.

Right Side Highlights
9.2
🌲

Bohemian Forest

Lush green rolling hills and dense forests along the border of the Czech Republic and Germany.

🏔️

Zillertal Alps

High-altitude glaciated peaks and deep valleys marking the border between Austria and Italy.

🧗

Cortina d'Ampezzo

The 'Queen of the Dolomites' nestled in a spectacular basin surrounded by massive limestone cliffs.

🎭

Venice Historic Center

The world-famous 'fish' shape of Venice, the Grand Canal, and St. Mark's Square during the landing pattern.

The right side is premier for the Venice arrival. Most flights perform a 'u-turn' over the Adriatic to land on Runway 04, which places the entire historic city of Venice directly outside the right-side windows. For the Alps, sit behind the wing to ensure the engine doesn't block the view of the vertical limestone walls.

Left Side Highlights
8.5
🏰

Prague Cityscape

Aerial views of the Vltava River and the historic towers of Prague shortly after departure from PRG.

🏔️

Grossglockner

Austria's highest peak (3,798m) is visible in the Hohe Tauern range as you cross the central Alps.

⛰️

Tre Cime di Lavaredo

Distinctive three-peaked battlements in the Sexten Dolomites, a UNESCO World Heritage site.

🏝️

Venetian Lagoon Islands

Views of the colorful islands of Burano and Murano as the plane descends over the northern lagoon.

Sit on the left for the best views of the jagged eastern Dolomites. Early morning flights provide excellent lighting on the eastern faces of the mountains. During the final approach, look for the unique rectangular shapes of the salt marshes in the northern lagoon.
